Good morning everyone and welcome to the Clearly Inspired Challenge on Lori McCroskey's blog..... today the challenge is a Birthday theme!!

Use Clear Dollar Stamps if you have them, if not, please play anyway....we would love to see your designs!!! A random winner will be chosen the following Thursday. Upload your cards to Mr. Linky on Lori's blog and if you upload to Splitcoast, use CIC14 in the keywords.

My card features the beautiful round tag from Clear Dollar Stamps Tag Blessings. It was stamped with Ruby Red and layered on Cherry-Go-Round cardstock and Basic Grey's Garden Variety dp. The same designer paper and matting was used on the background layers and sewing was dome around the edges. The fluffy flower was made with the Basic Gry dp and a scalloped Stampin Up! punch. A brad was used in the center of the flower and Cherry-Go-Round ribbon, buttons, twine, and the Martha Stewart punched ferns finish it off.

What a beautiful Birthday Card, Joan!!! Love the papers, you sewing is fabulous, layers are fantastic and the flower is gorgeous!!!! Also love the little button with twine!!! You certainly have a beauty here!!!! Hugs!!BTW, NO I am NOT ready for the 100+ degree temperatures this weekend. or for that matter this summer.. I think it's already 100 out there today... I've been filling up all of the birdfeeders and birdbaths and hummingbird feeders and when I came in just awhile ago my hair was soaking wet!!!! Could be a combo of heat and hotflashes!!! :o( Try and stay cool this summer, gf!!! Have a wonderful weekend!!!! Oh, Amanda is having contractions and is at a 2, but still has a few weeks to go!!! We will see!!! :o)
